Not much going on other than the weather.

The wrath of Mother Nature continues.  Is she trying to tell us something?  Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Wildfires and Tornadoes.... hmmm.

Those storms that hit the Deep South got their start in Texas, they rolled through here about 12 to 24 hours before hitting those unfortunate communities. They were were just babies when they started here, but we had quiet a few bouncing around.

We're gearing up for more today.  When I got up around 6:45 it was sort of balmy and in the upper 70s.  About 30 minutes ago the rain started and then the winds were whipping, the temp dropped 15 degrees.

Jody has been working on replacing the siding on our house for several weeks now.  He has to dodge the weather, he can't take all the siding off and have a storm blow in and we sit here all exposed. So he works on a portion, ripping out the old weather damaged particle board siding yes, it's particle board, cheap bastards, and replaces it with cedar.  Then he primes the wood and then paints with the new color I chose for our house I am so sick of gray that turned out blue.

Friday afternoon he was working on the small section where our roof is split into two levels.  He said this small part was more difficult than the entire porch area.    Jody was trying to hurry to get the replacement siding up and primed before the rains came, I was inside the house do when he text me "come outside."

When I get out there he says "come up the ladder", so....

 Miss Priss is on the roof! She followed Jody right up the ladder.

 But she really wanted down.

 She wasn't sure how she was going to get down.

 "can you hep me?"

 Desperate pacing.

 "hey, I go to tha lowest point."

 She sat there for a moment and then.... she jumped!   SHE JUMPED OFF THE ROOF!

And immediately walked 3 feet to the flower bed and dug a hole.....  I guess it scared something out of her.

I think she's OK, she didn't want to stay out late roaming in the dark like she usually does.

Then yesterday morning when Jody got back on the roof to finish the work, she didn't go up the extension ladder, she climbed a 6ft step ladder and jumped the remaining 4ft to the roof. 

Great!  Is she going to try to jump again?  No this time Jody stood on the extension ladder and coaxed her over.  She allowed him to hold her while he climbed down and set her on the ground, then she went inside and slept the rest of the day back in the bedroom where it was very dark and cool.  

She did the same thing after her fight with the neighbor's cat and the vet trip for staples a few weeks ago.  She finally came out last night but wasn't her playful "I want to go chase bugs outside" self.  She sat in my lap which she rarely does.  I know I'd probably want to sit in someone's lap if I'd jumped off the roof.  I'd probably have to have someone carry me around for a week or two.  

I called Nita (my family Vet Tech) to ask her about possible injuries.  She deemed her 'The Problem Child.'  

Glad we got the siding up and primed with two coats I did the painting since my hands were smaller and I'm more able to scooch down the roof on my backside than Jody is of primer.  We won't be painting today.  I just saw that the temp outside is 55!  

I love Spring time in Texas.
